Tinnitus seems to be also quite stable. Foam plugs seem to work quite well for the wind and guys cutting trees with chainsaws. (2/2) Jun 19, 2022

      @xyz But it is very isolating and lonely wearing ear plugs/ear muffs that much. Our ears were meant to be exposed to sounds naturally but these conditions are a certain severity make it difficult to expose to sounds. It feels like I'm losing my mind and my mental health is deteriorating.

        How do I cope mentally? Better be isolated than having ear pain, I would say. I just need to work on my sleep. Something is waking me up too early. Need to figure that out.

      @xyz Do you still wear hearing protection nearly 24/7? How do you cope with this mentally? When wearing ear protection, it does help limit my reactivity. But it also tends to isolate the T more which in effect can make the T seem even louder. I feel like wearing ear protection as much as possible gives me the best chance to heal and lower the risk of any potential worsening.

        Maybe not 24/7 more like 22/7 currently. If its quite enough I am not using any hearing protection. Just in case I have my Peltors always right beside me. Outside I am wearing protection every time. At least those musician earplugs. When driving I am still using foam earplugs + NC headphones.

      The sound system at work was finally repaired, and now the store speakers are not as basy, however I still took music home, I know I should be grateful that my music today is fainter than usual but my anxiety gets the best of me :(
      Tell me in what ways has your palinacusis improved? And has it improved significantly?

        I would rather not want to talk about that. Not to jinx anything. Probably Corona and home office has helped. Maybe try to find a job where you can work from home. But that's probably easier said than done.

      Dude sorry to ask, do you take anything for anxiety? I've read our issue has been treated with anti anxiety meds in some cases, also anti epilepsy meds too. What did your mri say?

        The MRI came back clear. There was nothing out of the ordinary. I am just supplementing with Magnesium and Potassium. I am not taking any meds.
        Anti epilepsy meds are quite strong, so I would first test if you can cope by better protecting your hearing.

        @xyz I take it you don't use headphones at all, for me it's been a major blow, as I enjoyed listening to music, and was always careful with volume as if the last 2 years. I wonder if it even goes away, if I'll ever be able to resume back normalcy, like music without being worried about it.
